Recently I wrote a quick review of the Waves F6 plugin for ProSoundWeb/LiveSound International Magazine.
This plugin seems to quite easily marry both fully parametric eq and frequency dependent compression in one nice, easy to use interface.

Some key features:
- M/S band mode for mid/side processing
- Compression and expansion
- Split/Wide side chain modes for processing flexibility
- Internal and external side chain h Low CPU consumption
- Zero latency
- Parallel processing
- Side chain solo
Check out the thorough user manual.
